Overview
- The Kings said an MRI revealed a partial tear in Sabonis’ left meniscus after he reported soreness following Sunday’s game in San Antonio.
- He missed Wednesday’s loss at Oklahoma City and is set for a re-evaluation in three to four weeks, a timetable that points to at least roughly 10 games out.
- Sacramento has dropped seven straight by double figures and sits at 3-12 during a difficult early stretch.
- Sabonis has averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds in 11 games this season after previously missing time with hamstring and rib issues.
- With Sabonis sidelined, Precious Achiuwa, Drew Eubanks and Maxime Raynaud are candidates for expanded frontcourt roles, and coach Doug Christie emphasized the need to sustain a high compete level.
